Determination
Electioneering by Applicants
X Sustained
Dismissed
After General Jeff Pages presentation, the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council (DLANC) board
members testimonies, the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment (Department) report and over 50 public
comments, a majority of the Election Challenge Panel determined that there was electioneering by the
applicant because they thought the word applicant applied to DLANC. The majority of the Election Challenge
Panel found that the Unite DTLA Vote No email to an unknown and undetermined number of voters qualified
as electioneering in violation of the Neighborhood Council Subdivision Election Manual.
The Election Challenge Panels remedy to the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment is:
The Election Challenge Panel combined the remedies for challenges #103, 104, and 105 to: Within 60 days,
there shall be an independent investigation to determine if any laws were broken and how many votes were
affected; if the number of votes affected is greater than the vote difference in the election, then the election
result shall be overturned. Within 90 days, if the election result is not changed after the investigation above,
then the election shall be held again, without online voting.
The Election Challenge Panel recommendation will now be reviewed by the Department for a final
determination on the matter.
